Injuries are still a factor in being a bust. He was a #1 pick who couldn't get on the court. Value wise he was a huge bust. Of course if he was healthy he wouldn't have been a bust because he was a monster.
He had some decent post up moves. If he never got injured, i think he would average 20 pts, 15 rebs and 3 blocks as a career average. His only downside was he had no jumper.
His legs are different lengths caused from his hip dislocating itself during his final growth spurt. His bad NBA career, caused from unavailability due to injuries, was pre ordained.
I remember thinking Greg Oden would have been better than Kevin Durant. Its no reason to think a 7 Ft player who's been nationally ranked at 1# his entire life wouldn't have a productive NBA career.
4:32 where is this? this isn't where greg oden lived, so stop trying to sugar coat this video. He lived in the fucking ghetto in some really small apartment building. He lived right down the street from me. The guy could never properly fit in his own bed once he became fully grown. I wish the best for this dude and hope he can overcome his injury troubles.
I remember being like 14 or 15 and thinking that he was going to be a bust when he played for ohio state. Just the way he moved and the way he looked. Kinda like derrick rose, he just didnt move correctly and damaged himself when performing intense movements. Idk if derrick rise has any proven abnormalities in bone structure or anything, but when I found out thgt greg oden duslocated his hip during his last growth spurt, which caused him to have legs of different length, i remember thinking "Dude, i f'ing called that" because, like i said, he just moved in a way that raised my eyebrows.
This is exactly why I hate American capitalism! I mean listen to the kid, he said all the right things, had all the right ideas, but because his body failed him he is looked at as a loser. All that matters in this country is how much money you have, that's it. I really hope Russia or China destroy us because we need a new system. The greed is too extreme here in the states.
I can't believe people call this guy a bust. When he played in the NBA he was dominant, but injuries got him. Adam Morrison was a bust.

I wonder how his Point Guard fared after high school?

Didn’t Shawn Kemp get drafted outta high school out of Indiana?
Dude scored 6 points tonight
Idk which team is more robust, Miami, Houston or Nets.
It is ironic that the Heat will use a guy from Indiana to kick the Pacers ass...can't wait to watch him against Hibbert...
He'll sign with the Miami Heat
>"team"
why dont you consider them a "team" and why do you hate them?
Cool story. Tell it again?
Now he looks like 60.

Seems like a nice guy. Now he's going to a "team" I can't stand.
He's a fraud and needs to return all the money he's stolen
